Connected members must be checked for rupture in accordance with Section J6 of AISI S100. When tested for corrosion resistance in accordance with ASTM B117, the screws meet the minimum requirement listed in ASTM F1941, as required by ASTM C1513, with no white corrosion after three hours and no red rust after twelve hours. 4.2 Installation: Installation of Dril-Flex® Self-Drilling Structural Screws must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s published installation instructions and this report. The manufacturer’s published installation instructions must be available at the jobsite at all times during installation. Selection of screw length and point style must be based on the thickness of the fastened steel members plus the minimum required protrusion past the back side of the supporting steel. Point selection must be based on the drilling capacity of the screw. See Table 1 for minimum required protrusion lengths and drilling capacities. The screws must be installed without predrilling holes in the receiving member of the connection. The drilling function of the fastener must be completed prior to the lead threads of the fastener engaging the metal. When the total connection thickness exceeds the maximum drilling capacity shown in Table 1, clearance holes must be provided in the attached material to reduce the thickness to be drilled by the screw. Clearance holes must be 13/64, 15/64, 17/64 and 21/64 inch (5.2, 5.9, 6.7 and 8.3 mm) in diameter for #10, #12, 1/4-inch-diameter and 5/16-inch-diameter (4.7, 5.5, 6.4 and 7.9 mm) screws, respectively. The screws must be installed perpendicular to the work surface using a screw driving tool incorporating a depth-sensitive or torque-limiting nose piece. The installation speed for 5/16-inch diameter screws should not exceed 1,200 rpm. The installation speed for all 1/4-inch diameter screws and #12 screws with a #5 point type should not exceed 1,800 rpm. The installation speed for all other screws should not exceed 2,500 rpm. The screws must penetrate through the supporting steel so that the minimum required protrusion length requirements listed in Table 1 are met. This ensures that the higher hardness portion of the screws or a minimum of three threads will protrude past the back side of the supporting steel. 5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE: The Dril-Flex® Self-Drilling Structural Screws described in this report comply with, or are suitable alternatives to what is specified in, those codes listed in Section 1.0 of this report, subject to the following conditions: 5.1 The screws must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s published installation instructions and this report. If there is a conflict between the manufacturer’s published installation instructions and this report, the more severe requirements govern. 5.2 The allowable connection capacities specified in Section 4.1 are not to be increased when the screws are used to resist short-duration loads, such as wind or seismic forces. 5.3 Evaluation of screws subjected to cyclic or fatigue loading is outside the scope of this report. Applicable Seismic Design Categories must be determined in accordance with the code for the entire assembly constructed with the screws. 5.4 Drawings and calculations verifying compliance with this report and the applicable code must be submitted to the code official for approval. The drawings and calculations are to be prepared by a registered design professional when required by the statutes of the jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed. 5.5 The screws are manufactured under a quality-control program with inspections by ICC-ES. 6.0 EVIDENCE SUBMITTED Data in accordance with the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Tapping Screw Fasteners Used in Steel-to-steel Connections (AC118), dated January 2018 (editorially revised February 2024). 7.0 IDENTIFICATION 7.1 The ICC-ES mark of conformity, electronic labeling, or the evaluation report number (ICC-ES ESR-3332) along with the name, registered trademark, or registered logo of the report holder and/or listee must be included in the product label. 7.2 In addition, the self-drilling tapping screws are marked with a “ ” on the top surface of the screw heads, as shown in Figures 1 through 13. Packages of self-drilling tapping screws are labeled with the product brand name, product number or item number, size and length, and point type. 9
